Fudgy Brownies are good without frosting but for an extra special treat I topped them with a layer of creamy chocolate ganacehe. However, instead of using heavy cream (I had none on hand), I used evaporated milk and it worked just like the cream! Growing up on a farm, we learned to use replacements and this blog contains a Mixes and More section (listed in the heading above) that includes substitutions along with homemade mixes.
Creamy Chocolate Ganache (above) spread over
Chocolate Ganache made with evaporated milk
1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup butter
- Place chocolate chips into a small bowl.
- In a microwave safe measuring cup, heat evaporated milk in 30 second intervals until it comes to a boil.
- Add this hot milk to the chocolate chips and cover with plastic wrap; let set for 30 seconds and then stir.
- Add butter and stir until everything has dissolved completely. Let cool until spreading consistency is achieved.
This didn’t work and was way to watery
ReplyDeleteI made a mistake by using 11/3.cup of evaporated milk. I used the whole bag of chocolate chips but didn't thicken it enough. Soo I added cocoa powder, the entire bag. It did thicken the ganache. I put it in the refrigerator to hopefully harden. I also made a white cream filling. Can't wait to slice and take a picture of this cake. Great recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteWorked out for me. Not sure what the other people did to make it watery but mine was great. Thank you
